Music Theory Lessons in Telford

Understand the Language of Music

Music theory is the foundation that supports everything you do as a musician, and understanding it can transform the way you play, sing, and listen. At McFarlane Music in Telford, Jordan McFarlane offers dedicated music theory lessons for students of all ages and abilities, from the very basics through to advanced Grade 8 study.

Whether you need theory as a companion to your practical lessons, as a requirement for higher ABRSM grades, or simply because you want to understand how music works, Jordan provides clear and structured tuition that makes even the trickiest concepts accessible. Lessons cover the full ABRSM and LCM theory syllabi, including notation, rhythm, keys and scales, intervals, chords, harmony, and analysis.

Jordan holds a degree in music and professional membership of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, and has helped students across Telford and Shropshire achieve excellent results in theory examinations. His approach emphasises understanding over rote learning — you will not just memorise rules, you will hear and recognise how they apply to real music.

Theory lessons can be taken alongside practical tuition or as standalone sessions. They are particularly valuable for students preparing for Grade 5 theory, which is a prerequisite for higher practical ABRSM examinations. Whatever your starting point, Jordan will build your knowledge steadily and ensure you feel fully prepared come exam day.
